Keith's 65 Impala upgrade

[kwhizz]

Got all the A/C ductwork installed along with the vents.......the gas pedal also got installed......Ialso got started on installing the fan relays.......just need to get the wiring for the Trinary switch and a couple of A/C wires hooked up....then put the dash back in and get the neutral safety switch adjusted.......my one issue I have is a very slight gas leak from a fitting on the top of the tank.....Darn......need to pull the tank down and see what's going on there.......

Got the Trinary switch and all the A/C wiring finished today........then I moved on to the Fan Relay's.....That open area next to the Battery sure filled up fast......LOL........Done !!!........one of those stupid little things that was a little problem was the Brake Booster Vacuum line......the Power Booster had a hole size larger than most and I couldn't find a Check Valve to fit with the new sizes needed.....so....I made up a adapter and blended the large and small hoses together........Started to put the dash assy in.......I'll finish that up tomorrow and then the last thing (hopefully) to do is to drop the Gas Tank and reseal the pipe thread fittings that leak one drop at a time......Darn.......Gotta fix it....

Ken, i like the battery choice. I have been buying those for years, the longest living battery i have ever had. Even if drained dead, they come back and last.

Pulled the gas tank out today and got the leak fixed (Teflon Tape instead of pipe joint compound......Lesson Learned-AGAIN !!!!!)......Then I finished the Dash install......Started programming the Dakota Digital system and got a few issues........I'll call them tomorrow and their Tech Support will walk me thru the programming sequence........LOL.......Also.......the neutral safety switch is fighting back.........waiting for a call from Shiftworks to resolve that issue.....

Here's a pic of the dash.........(engine off , key on, lights on)Check engine light is on because the O2 Sensors aren't installed yet..........Going for the Exhaust on Monday........
